Objective To analyze the value of using AIDET communication mode in follow-up of patients transferred from intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A total of 110 patients who were transferred from the ICU of our hospital and followed up were selected as the subjects, with a period from March 2023 to March 2025. Divide into two groups using the random number table method, with 55 cases in each group. The control group received routine follow-up intervention for transfer, while the observation group used AIDET communication mode for transfer follow-up. Evaluate the intervention effects of two groups comprehensively based on negative emotions, ICU return rate, and nursing adverse events. Results After the intervention, the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) score in the observation group decreased compared to the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a decrease in ICU return rate and total incidence of nursing adverse events (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of AIDET communication mode during follow-up of ICU patients after transfer can significantly alleviate anxiety and depression symptoms, reduce the phenomenon of ICU return to treatment, and lower the risk of nursing adverse events.
